All Kinds Of Motor Cars


Music and lyrics by Richie Kavanagh

I’ve had all kinds a motor cars, since I was just a chap.
I bought them for small money, most of them were scrap.
There wasn’t any NCT, sit in an’ drive away.
After driving all them yokes, I’m lucky to be alive today.

First car that I ever bought, was a ford 100e.
It only had three gears, it was a square yoke now ye see.
The wipers now they worked on air, which was a kinda sloppy.
But all In all for sixty pound, she was a great jea-loppy.

I’ve had all kinds a motor cars, since I was just a chap.
I bought them for small money, most of them were scrap.
There wasn’t any NCT, sit in an’ drive away.
After driving all them yokes, I’m lucky to be alive today.

Then I bought a Morris, a great auld Morris Minor.
A be the gore a man, ye couldn’t get no finer.
She only had just one fault, above all other makes.
Ye never could depend on them, Morris Minor breaks.

Chorus
I’ve had all kinds a motor cars, since I was just a chap.
I bought them for small money, most of them were scrap.
There wasn’t any NCT, sit in an’ drive away.
After driving all them yokes, I’m lucky to be alive today.

Then I bought a Mini an’ Austin Mini Cooper.
She had all the extras and really looked just super.
She had a gold seal engine, a rare thing now ye know.
An’ wut a front wheel drive, she was a woeful yoke to go.

Chorus
I’ve had all kinds a motor cars, since I was just a chap.
I bought them for small money, most of them were scrap.
There wasn’t any NCT, sit in an’ drive away.
After driving all them yokes, I’m lucky to be alive today.

The greatest yoke of ’em all, a be the hokey mack.
A Volkswagen Beatle, but an’ engine in the back.
It was the six volt version, with pop up indicator.
And had an air cooled engine, didn’t need no radiator.

Chorus
I’ve had all kinds a motor cars, since I was just a chap.
I bought them for small money, most of them were scrap.
There wasn’t any NCT, sit in an’ drive away.
After driving all them yokes, I’m lucky to be alive today.

After driving all them yokes, I’m lucky to be alive today.
